Mary, believe it or not, but there is a subset of numismatists who collect chocolate coins. I couldn't find a specific website, but they're out there. One of the hardest problems you may face is deciding on which coin field(s) to specialize, e.g., 19th century US or world, moderns, errors/varieties, Morgans 
, quarters, nickels, dimes, type coins (one of each kind), Bust Half Dollars, or a thousand other categories. Many of us can't decide, so try to collect everything which, as we all know, is impossible; it also tends to fill space in our homes such as a full room dedicated solely to coins. I've lately gotten interested in 2ç coins, but I've also lately become interested in Flying Eagle cents and a US type collections (See Dansco 7070 threads). I've also got an interesting collection of wooden nickels (exonumia). While I've generally concentrated on Morgans over the years, I keep breaking out and finding something new, so I've got coins from all over the world and all throughout time, most without any real organization.
Good luck on the currency!

I see what you mean about deciding what to focus on. I'm kinda scattered and want to focus on about 10 things at once! But I'm going to start with a few things:
